Figured we would take the opportunity while in Washington to stop in at ARB 4x4 Accessories to go over the differences between air lockers and factory lockers in most off road vehicles!
Hope you all enjoy the video! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
It's nice to listen to a manufacturers rep that knows exactly what they are talking about. You should do more of those factory visits; winches, recovery gear, tents, axles, lights, etc.
For about $1k less then an ARB air locker I had an OX cable activated locker with the electrical solenoid option installed - push button activation convince - immediate action! NO air leeks to chase down - no differential tear down for an air leak.
No problem with oem lockers ( front and back). Unimog 404.
That guy is wrong about the 100psi in a little line makes it 600psi. A 100psi in a 2” line vs a 1/4” is still a 100psi. The velocity (speed) of the air moves faster in a smaller line.
Bernoulli's theorem says that there should be a reduction in pressure when the area is reduced. ... The narrower the pipe, the higher the velocity and the greater the pressure drop.
As you said, the pressure remains the same, it is the force that drops. 100psi across 1 square inch is 100 pounds of force, but that same 100psi across a half square inch is 50 pounds of force, but it will move twice as fast.
JKL is correct, 100PSI inside a dirigible ( if you could ever inflate it that high w/o an explosion ) would be the same as the inside of a portable air carry can in your 4x4. PSI is PSI, its absolute, not a volume relative measurement.
@@frontiergeek4953 Would you mind taking the time to explain what effect this has in relation to what the guy in the video said? Is he just incorrectly describing an actual change in performance or is there no difference?
@@EoWKen As JKL said, its still 100 PSI, but due to the small size line the air velocity is much higher, meaning its got the same push behind it (pressure) but the speed of the air is faster. It locks fast because of the velocity of the air. The ARB guy is trying to explain why its so quick but got the why wrong
that was super informative and always great to see shots behind the scenes. Stay safe Kevin, Brittany and Jelly!
My JK came with ARB air lockers from the former owner and I always wondered how they worked. Thanks for the video!
Had the issue he talks about at 13:00 with my "Professionally installed" ARB in the 8.8 in my TJ. Only instead of leaking, the seal housing spun around on the bearing journal and the copper line was chewed up by the ring gear. Twice. Got on the phone with ARB USA and they sent me a new seal housing for free. (~$100 part. Awesome customer service!) Ordered an install kit, and set the differential up myself. Ended up with .060" more shim than the "professional" did when they set it up.
Awesome video. Learned a few things about the ARB airlocker. Keep em coming!
Amazing explanation after years of wheeling its the first time I understood how the lockers exactly working
Thanks very much for the video 👍🏾👍🏾. Now I understand not only how it works, but why it's the best & strongest. Thanks Scott 😊
Great video guys! Really great in depth on ARB lockers.
So many thanks for this vid, I learned a lot! Stay safe and healthy out there!
Next stop should be to get a lint roller for Kevin’s T-shirt. #Jellynation 😉
Why are you paying so much attention to people's clothes ffs
ROFL
Awesome video....showing the break down of how the locker works....helps alot of people understand....Brittany (orphice/try not laughing....lol)🤣.....Kevin keep it up💪.......Jelly was sooooo tired 🐶...can't wait till your next video....Safe travels
Probably one of your most useful and informative videos. Nice to hear an expert on this product, especially ARB Lockers. Obviously he is well informed....Thank you...
Great video. It was good to see how they work. I was always nervous about them because I guess I never really understood how arb lockers work. Thanks great video
Great video! Super informative
Lol very cool video..while Iam force to practice social distance, you guys are chilling and having an amazing times..thank you for giving up relaxing content and thank you for sharing your life adventure to us
Informative video, I now understand what a diff locker does and the difference between an electric and air locking system, well done.
How exactly does the posi-trac
rear end on a Plymouth work? It just does...
Life's a garden. Dig it.
lol this might have went over the heads of a few.
@@PNW_Car_Mods Thats a space peanut
@@jeepindave5464 lmao it's a classic for sure
except Plymouths didnt have posi-tracs. Posi is a GM term
This is very technical, but a very good explanation. Thanks!!!
That was awesome information! I knew the concept but never had it explained on how superior ARB is.
"We want it to go in fast and hard" - ARB Guy
That's what she said LOL.
Elwyndor that’s hilarious
Thanks for the informative video. Planning on getting those lockers eventually for my 06 tacoma. Have the ARB bull bar bumper for the front that getting installed this week . Figure I might as well stick with the same company for the locker and apparently its the best setup .
Random question ; when y’all went to dynatracs did y’all upgrade the Master cylinder ?
I plan to go with dyntrac 60s and wanna know what y’all went with
I’m thinking of choosing the mopar big brake master cylinder
This was actually really helpful cause I never really understood how the air lockers worked
Crazy cool lesson today! Thanks LB!
Guys, this is an excellent tutorial. I learned a lot. PLEASE do MORE like this !
I love the videos!!!! Keep the videos coming!!! You’ve actually got me motivated to start over landing my Jeep commander !!
Thank you for this video. After the guys quit in the last video maybe we will see or understand why now. Thanks, stay safe!! Love yall!!
Well that was cool, didn't tell is what happened to the one that quit in the other video but I will have to go back find that guys TH-cam channel and find out what he found.
Great information in your videos .thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this, its something I didnt know I wanted to know!🤙👍
Well this video sold me on putting ARB Air Locker's in my JKU Wrangler, when I regear next summer.
It was very interesting!!! Thanks for this video :)
Great Vid. Now I know what setup I’m installing in The Breacher, my H2.
I’ve had an ARB in my rear D44 for 10 years. Works without fail. Disconnects instantly. Been living in Utah for 6 years and needed a front locker to be able to wheel on the more advanced trails out here. Could not afford another ARB D30. Bought a Yukon Zip locker and never looked back. Operates just as well as ARB and is supposed to be as bulletproof as the ARB for $200 less.
I also learned!❤ Now, I have something to tell my father and brother because they like things like that!😊✨ So that I can relate😂
What a GREAT video ... Many Thanks !
I’m looking at putting a rear air locker on my 2020 Ford ranger. It’s a open differential 4x4.. should I bother locking in my front axle or just leave it in 2wd
Informative video! Always been a little skeptical of air lockers since I figured there were more places for potential issues with them, but this made me rethink that. Thanks!
You're right to be skeptical. Roughly 10% of air lockers fail on every off-road trip in my experience. I kept track for a few years on land cruiser association trail events. In the same time there were zero factory Toyota locker failures.
Very cool and educational video. Thank you
LOVE ARB...My TJ has their products.,..My 4 year old compressor for my lockers failed... Took it apart and found the fail point. I sent ARB a message with a video of my issue to see if they have a rebuild kit for sale and they said I was out of warranty by several years....so they sent me a new motor and it was at my house in 3 days...LOVE ARB..Best costumer service I have experienced in forever and in the USA based in Auburn, WA USA
I’m sold! Had ARBs in my peged diff Defender 90.... it was based on simple reviews that I chose them but this!!!! In my gladiator diesel 💪👍👊
Placing an ARB in my rig now, thanks Lite Brite!
Great day Lite Brite.. I'd like to ask if is it possible to put differential lockers front or rear (air, mechanism, torque, and electric lockers from ARB) on Nissan Np300 4x2 Navara (2015-2020)?. Hoping for your reply. Thanks and happy holidays
This is one of the many reasons I love your channel. ARB is simple smart, perfect for the rough necks driving these rigs. You guys are helping so many subscribers with basic offroad engineering and tips, add E3 offroad to your setup and your set. Fyi, I saw a sweet rig with a Lite Brite sticker on it yesterday. That is the first thing I look for when I see a sweet crawler. Anyways, love you guys and your family's, be safe. 👍🤙
😊🤙
where to buy one arb from portugal ?
for toyota 2wd 8" 4.375 (35/8) ratio small bearing 45mm ... the housing is round 10bolt 30spline out and 27 input...
does arb rd132 fit ?
Great video guys, stay safe
Thank you for the information, I didn't know any of this.
Great video learned a lot.
Thanks guys. Great info.
Thanks for the video guys. I always liked ARB.
Way kool!!!!!!!! So simple... Great video!
I loved these videos , ♥️♥️💯🤙
Excellent video....
does your vehicle need to already have lockers before air lockers. I have a willy's JL. So i have a front Dana 30 and a rear dana 45 without lockers. I would like to install lockers and be able to operate them individually like a rubicon electronic would from the cab.
Thanks guys, this was very interesting
Great video thank you!
what particular ARB air locker model that can fit the 2021 Hilux conquest? front and rear. thanks.
Great video! Nice to know!
very informative about how the bearing race can shift over and wreck the seal housing orings during install.
I want to make sure I understand you correctly. I have a 93 Bronco with an ARB air locker in the rear, if I'm driving down the road I can just flip on my compressor and hit the locker switch while in motion?
appricate video, I agree install is key but I love my Eaton Elocker
Absolutely hated my ARB lockers. The front was broke all the time with a 44 in a TJ. The rear was ok just had problems with air leaks. I could never count on making it out of a trail so I did Eaton e-locks. Posi in the rear and open in the front when they are not locked and loved them so much that I have replaced them in all three of my TJs.
great informative video!
This was helpful because me and my dad are going to get lockers sometime soon so thx.
Have you guys looked in to getting a Cellular booster for the support child? Or i know its pricey but satellite internet ?
Love the video and information put out, will deff look into these when I’m ready to add lockers!
Good morning guys and gals hope your all doing well , theses ARB lockers seem really cool !!!!
Great video! Brittany did a great job not interrupting him at the beginning, you can see it was hard for her lol
I’m just one of those people that when a thought comes to mind, it immediately comes out my mouth unless I’m consciously holding myself back. 😅😅
Lite Brite lol it makes for great back and forth with Kevin 🤙🏼😜
Super cool, I wish they had a 90 degree air fitting option for the dana 44 so I didn't have to modify my truss. Super cool
Question, since the lockers "lock" the differentials does that mean they should only be engage for strait lines, I know most uphill lines are strait but will there be any issues if you have to make turns or swerves? Thnx.
It will generally give u worse turning performance and might increase tyre wear but nothing serious
Awesome knowledge
Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie Oie Oie Oie. Thanks for a real explain, so much clearer on the benefits now. Air is the future (for my ute any way). Again thank you. Nice to see the instore backdrop at ARB shows pride in its roots, didn't even black out the NSW or SA plates.
Respect.
i was nervous about installing air lockers now i am not great video guys luv ya
well done Scott
Awesome video! I run ARB lockers on my 2013 JK
Very informative video thanks guys
Jelly Jelly Jelly !!!! Great information..
I have always liked ARB's and have wanted one, but my Detroit's have never let me down.
Everyone I wheel with that has ARBs has had issues. Typically they leak internally and pressurize the housing. When they fail to make obstacles, first diagnostic is to turn off the engine and listen to see if you can hear the hiss of the leaking ARB. I have a eaton e-locker in the front and on time the wires rubbed and starting blowing fuses. Took some finding. My Detroit in the rear has never let me down.
The installation is so important for them to operate correctly and be issue free.
@@jdsrcs8061 Absolutely. I should have added, some of those people were professionals, not home gamers like myself. Postmortems by those professionals have indicated issues with the internals seals more than the lines run the by the installer. At any rate, having watched it all go down multiple times, I will be avoiding air lockers unless the manufacturers stop blaming the users/installers and fix their design.
I worked for a shop that sold and installed a fair amount of arb lockers, we never had a issue. I have a arb in my rig that I've had forever. It's never had an issue. The owner of the shop also had multiple vehicles with arb lockers and never has had an issue except maybe a bad solenoid once. But we always installed magnet plugs in all our our diffs to reduce floating metal debris which also lengthens the life of the differential over all and is a cheap thing to do.
Would have been nice to see how the factory locker works with a cut away like they had for theirs
Yeah, I wish we had one. It would have been cool to show them side by side!
I need help with my Solid axle conversion please i had a IFS i converted it to Solid axle i need to E Lock it dont want to get out and Lock it i have hydrolics inside want to lock it with hydrolics
Very informative vid but i was a bit distracted....*cough *cough
Hey B an Kev. Hi Jelly. Nice educational video, think I need me some ARB’s an some new lights
ARBs front and rear. 98 TJ on 6",Dana 44s and 35s
Life is good!👍
have arb in my 94 yj its been in there for 20+ years have never had a problem with them have broke one air line in all that time
loved he said Samuria in the very beginning... LOL
what do you have that fits front of Mojave Gladiator?
Nice video. Learned alot, but did notice when the Northridge dude was installing the carrier, he didnt use a case spreader.
I learned a little more today thanks. The ARBs on my LJ are amazing ~>
I learned a lot here. I also learned i will leave it to the pros. Hi Jelly!
does the child support truck have the built in LTE hotspot? mine works awesome... worth paying for if it does!
Valuable information
Do more of these videos!
Wow...like Britney. ..click... it all comes together....thanks for the education 😷😷 stay safe Britney & Kevin.
Thanks kids,,Great Info...WOW !
Wonder if I can get those in my little renny
ARB lockers and products, another Quality Australian Owned and Made product. Good to see Americans being able to trust and enjoy our products.
I have only done my toyota diffs so i never had a use for a case spreader. Thats a dana thing. I wish i could learn to do more variety of diffs out there. I cant wait to get some of these lockers on my axles
Lite Brite I know exactly what your talking about. Often my JL takes about a minute to unlock or lock. I wonder if its because the tires are not moving the same speed?
Fit Pro even the arb doesn’t lock up anytime you hit the switch, as u see in the video, your wheels have to move and the spider gear has to line up with the locker engagement ring. The Elockers are same way. If you’re in a stand still usually it’s harder to lock because chances are the gears don’t line up. But if you move your vehicle wheels half a turn, it’ll lock or unlock easy. Arb is basically same way, but it takes less wheel movement to lock up than elockers typically because they’re designed differently on how they lock. Watch how an elocker works, and it takes more movement for elock than the arb.
Yeah my factory lockers lock and unlock instantly just be sure to be rolling slowly...
@@informalart7035 my JL lock 85% of the time fast at slow movement. But sometimes it will lock very slow.
